Programming the Communicator
General Information
The communicator delivers alarms via the Internet to an AlarmNet central station or via the
network, using cell technology when the Internet is not available.
The communicator uses 256 bit AES (Rijndael) encryption which is required for certain
government installations.
The communicator requires an AlarmNet–I account. For new installations, please obtain the account
information from the central station prior to programming this communicator. For replacement
installations, the AlarmNet-i account is created automatically when the communicator is registered.
You can program a communicator by one of the following methods:
Through the AlarmNet 360 website (required to enable Multi-Mode features)
Through use of a 7720P Programming Tool
Through a programming mode in the control panel, on panels that support this option
(e.g., VISTA-128BP and FBP)
Using the AlarmNet 360 Website
To program the communicator via the website (if you are already signed up for this service), go
to: www.alarmnet360.com Log in and follow the on-screen prompts. Please have the following
information available when programming the communicator:
Primary City ID (two-digit number), obtained from your monitoring station.
Primary Central Station ID (two-digit number), obtained from your monitoring station.
Primary Subscriber ID (four-digit number), obtained from your monitoring station.
Communicator’s MAC ID and MAC CRC number (located on the box and inside the
communicator).
After programming is complete, the communicator must be registered. Refer to the Register the
Module topic.
Using a 7720P Programming Tool
Connect the 7720P Programming Tool as shown below. The communicator powers the 7720P
Programming Tool via the programming jack, and automatically senses the presence of the
7720P when it is plugged in.
